No scent cover works. No matter what you use, your mouth breath still stinks.. 

Hunt into the wind.  Thats what works
I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...

Why zinc?

Zinc is an antimicrobial.  You sweat it out your pores,  and it reduces bacterial growth.

Hunting into the wind is great but as you know it sure can swirl in the hills.

There are products made to reduce/eliminate/minimize breath odor.  I have lost opportunity from wind that swirled and other times I have killed animals downwind from me because I took precaution in eliminating much of my odor.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

cover scent may give you a split second advantage primarily where elk are in contact with people frequently. that being said i try to stay as fresh as possible and don't spray stuff on me that smells like a french whore  house .been said a million time wind !

 :yeah: split second can be the difference in a dead elk or an elk headed into the next county.

If scent covers did nothing then we wouldn't wear deodorant on first dates  :chuckle:

Scent control is difficult,I start with scent free spray but after a few days I smell anyway. What I usually resort to is finding fresh elk pee to roll in and rub all over myself.  Since I am trying to sound and act like an elk anyway, I want to smell like one too.  The only downfall is maybe not being able to get in your tent with your wife later at night and when the flies attack you with a vengeance.   :yike:

The goal isn't scent elimination, but scent reduction.  As said before I want to reduce my scent trail.

  Also, the more you stink the farther away an animal can wind you.  Huge huge factor at times.  Probably makes zero difference at 30 yards though :)
